Volume 2 Tokyo Hua Menglu Chapter 76 The Great Scandal (II)

His wife's screams woke Zhang Dingjun up in horror, and he hurriedly stepped forward, covered her mouth, and shouted: "You slut, don't stop me yet!" At the same time, he turned his head and asked: "Brother Xu, how can this be ......" Before the good words came out, his whole person froze again, because he found that Sun Tu, who should have been behind, had disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, several nuns wearing gray cloth monk's robes had heard the news and hurried over, and as soon as they arrived at the door, they saw the terrifying scene in front of them, the ground was full of blood, and a person had fallen, and on the bed behind him, there was a strange man pressing Li Yuniang, as if he wanted to put him to death. This made several nuns even more frightened, and immediately shouted loudly: "Come on, kill someone!" But they didn't dare to go into the house to save people, they were just weak women who were powerless, how could they save people from the murderers?

And this call quickly brought a response, but it was not from the front nunnery, but a few men suddenly turned in from outside the backyard wall, and then went straight into the room, quickly pulled Zhang Dingjun, who had already been completely stupid by this series of changes, from Li Yuniang, and pressed him to the ground.

One of them also went to test Zhang Dingfeng's snort lying in a pool of blood, and then put his hand away and said in horror: "He...... He's dead! ”

Hearing this, Zhang Dingjun's mind was even more banged, and it completely turned into a blank, and he actually killed his second brother with his own hands in anger...... Although he was sorry for himself first, he actually did things behind his back and his wife, but after all, he is his own half-brother and half-mother!

"Quick, go and report to the official!" The other person was quite calm, and said the most accurate sentence, and at that moment two of them ran out quickly, and actually climbed over the courtyard wall again, while the other people stayed inside and outside the house, and even the nuns were watched. Because they have discovered the strangeness of the murder scene, the man who was killed has taken off his clothes and pants, and there is a disheveled woman on the bed, and this is the place of Buddhism...... So everyone here doesn't want to get out!

In a corner outside the courtyard wall, Sun Tu was hiding in the dark and watching the two of them hurrying away, and a sneer appeared on his face: "It seems that this matter is impossible to be covered up." Let's go. ”

Tang Fifteen, who was standing with him, said with some confusion: "Sun Gongzi, don't we care?" ”

"At this point, the government will inevitably investigate to the end, and then the Zhang family will be completely finished, and what we should do at this time is to stay out of the matter." Sun Tu said, he had already turned to the alley at the other end, he had done everything he had to do, and then he just had to wait for the result.

Zhang Dingjun would never have dreamed that he had fallen into Sun Tu's calculations early on. And the reason why Sun Tu chose him as a breakthrough to deal with the Zhang family is that in addition to his weaknesses and easy to be exploited, the more important point is that he asked Zhang Dingfeng and Li Yuniang about colluding with each other early in the morning.

Under Sun Tu's intimidation and the threat of electric batons, Zhang Jian told everything he knew. As a close confidant of Zhang Dingfeng, the between him and his brother and daughter-in-law has naturally been noticed by him, he just kept it hidden, but he was forced to ask by Sun Tu.

It was precisely because he grasped this key that Sun Tu thought of this plan and lured him to discover the adultery between the two by contacting Zhang Dingjun. And all the reactions of the latter fell into Sun Tu's calculations, and judging from the final result, it was even far better than he expected.

Now the third son of the Zhang family killed his brother, and Zhang Dingfeng was killed because he committed adultery with his younger brother-in-law. Once such a big scandal spreads, not to mention that his Zhang family has always prided itself on being a scholar, it is an ordinary people's family, I am afraid that it will be discredited. And Zhang Bingcang will not only lose his official position under such a blow, but also completely lose his reputation.

This is the revenge that Sun Tu gave them, the most vicious and effective revenge!

&&&&&

The development of the matter was not much different from Sun Tu's judgment, as soon as the people from Kaifeng Mansion arrived at Shuiyue Nunnery, they took down all the relevant people and took them back to the fine family for interrogation.

And this matter is actually not complicated, only in the first trial, Zhang Dingjun and Li Yuniang told everything about it. After learning that it was such a tragic incident, especially after someone had already known everything that happened in the nunnery before them, it was naturally impossible for the government to cover up for the Zhang family, so they immediately handed over the confession to the Criminal Department for further determination.

At the same time, the cause and effect of the case quickly spread throughout the city. This kind of peach-colored murder is itself a favorite of the masses, and now it also brings the gimmick of a brother snatching his brother's wife, and everyone is even more energetic in talking about it, and in just one or two days, this matter has been spread all over the city, and there are even good people who add oil and vinegar to it, and say it wonderfully, as if they have seen it with their own eyes.

The imperial court also showed a rare efficiency side under such public opinion, and in just a few days, the final verdict was already given-

The evidence of Zhang Dingjun's murder is conclusive, but because he had a reason for the incident, he did not have to resist his fate, only 50 canes, 3,000 li, and went to the Lingnan area to feed mosquitoes. And his wife Li Yuniang, who did not abide by the women's way in front, caused her brother to break the wall, and finally ended up with a death of one person.

But the worst in comparison is their father Zhang Bingcang, the third son killed the second son is enough to make him grief-stricken as a father, and there is such a big scandal in the family, which hits him particularly hard.

When Renzong was celebrating the new policy, some anti-law reformers created a scandal about his adulterous daughter-in-law in order to discredit Ouyang Xiu, the backbone of the law change. Even with Ouyang Xiu's status and reputation, he was tired of coping with it, and almost resigned, which was still the result of people chasing after the wind. And now everything that happened in the Zhang family is real, and he, Zhang Bingcang, immediately became the target of the people's criticism and the estrangement of his colleagues.

Today's scholars pay attention to cultivating Qi and ruling peace, and if a person can't even do a good job of self-cultivation and Qi family, how can he be loyal to the country and share worries for the Son of Heaven? With this assertion, let alone an official who has nothing to do with Zhang Bingcang, even a former friend, he can only try to get rid of his involvement at this time, so as not to be implicated, and it is impossible for anyone to speak for him again.

So at the same time as Zhang Dingjun was convicted, the impeachment of Zhang Bingcang began to be sent to the Yintai Division, and it was determined that he was no longer suitable to serve as an official in the DPRK.

In the face of the unanimous targeting and impeachment of the government and the opposition, Zhang Bingcang completely had no way to save himself. Even if he asked from his son about the clues that he was being used to kill his brother, when he reported everything, Kaifeng Mansion finally only gave a response that there was no such person.

Because they went to Ruyifang in the west of the city to investigate as Zhang Dingjun said, they found that there was no rich family surnamed Xu there at all, let alone found a young man named Xu Shide.

It was only at this time, whether Zhang Dingjun or Zhang Bingcang, that they knew that their family had been calculated by someone early and fell into someone's conspiracy. As for who did all this, Zhang Bingcang quickly came to the conclusion that it must be a counterattack launched by Tong Guan, who had just been calculated by himself.

It's a pity that there is no conclusive evidence for all this, and there is no basis for empty words, no matter how wronged he is, it is impossible for his colleagues in Beijing to offend Tong Guan, who is not a small force, in order to help him exonerate.

In the end, after the private persuasion of several friends, Zhang Bingcang could only accept his fate and ask the Son of Heaven to resign on the grounds that he had no way to teach his son, no longer had the face to stand on the court, and was old and faint. At least in this way, he finally has a decent ending, and the court can also give an explanation to the people of the world.

When Layue came, this once dared to work against Tong Guan, the privy envoy who held real power in the court, but was only demoted by two levels, and Zhang Bingcang, who was still in the household department, finally ended his official career, and what everyone didn't expect was that the cause of all this was just a young man who had no official position and few people knew!
